List objects in Backup Copy Jobs

[TGM406]

Hi

I am trying to list all the objects in my Backup Copy Job, but the output is always empty
When I run it against a standard backup job,it works, but not against a backup copy job.
Is there another command to use for backup copy jobs?

I use the script below.

Code: Select all

asnp "VeeamPSSnapIn" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$Jobname = "Test Backup Copy Job"
$job = Get-VBRJob -Name $Jobname

Write-Host "Objects in $Jobname"
$objects = $job.GetObjectsInJob()
foreach ($object in $objects) {
    Write-Host $object.Object.Name
}

Hi,

Your script is fine, I've just tested it and all is good. Have you tried to input your script manually in PS, line by line and, and checking if any variable contains null value?

Thank you.

I suppose it can be dependent on how do you add objects to Backup Copy job.
Was it from Infrastructure, from Backup or from Job?

What is selected as a source for a backup copy job? Individual VMs or Backup Jobs? In the later case, the script has to be re-written slightly. Thanks.

Hi

The vm's is added as backup job objects.

Then, try the following example:

Code: Select all

asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$BCJ = Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your backup copy Job"
foreach ($Id in $BCJ.LinkedJobIds.Guid)
{
Get-VBRJob | where {$_.id -eq $Id} | select name
}

Thanks.

You're welcome. Should other help with scripting be needed, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks.

Hi quick question - would this script be able to list all of the files that were backed up to a File To Tape job?

Veeam shows a certain number of files were backed up, but I cannot find any way to display that information.

Thanks

Hey Folks,

i'am a little bit confused. When i'am using this lines of code.

Code: Select all

$test = Get-VBRJob -Name "Backup Job 1"

($test).GetObjectsInJob().name

I get all VM names in the jobs.

With a BackupCopy Job this won't work.

How can i extract the VMs in an Backup Copy job?

Hi Stefan,

It looks like there is an issue as I just tried it out and experience the same problem. Could be a bug. I will ask QC to look at it.

Thanks

Based on the source type, you need to use either my script or the one provided by TGM406. Thanks.
